bacterial housekeeping mRNA

Dr. Preston Campbell, Vanderbilt, recently(1995) published a paper
describing the use of PCR of the 16srRna coding region of bacteria to detect
Pseudomads in CF patients. In the article he describes a set of primers
that should amplify this region from most bacteria. Sorry, but I cannot
recall the article title or journal but will post this tommorrow. In the
meantime a medline or entrez search should turn up the proper reference.
